MLA's congrats on 'Hunger'

Former hunger striker and Sinn Fein MLA, Raymond McCartney said he is looking forward to seeing the new film watches g about the 1981 hunger strike in Long Kesh which scooped a major international award at the weekend.

'Hunger,' which tells of the story of the final days of Bobby Sands, was awarded the prestigious Camera D'Or prize for best first-time director at the internationally renowned Cannes film festival.

Mr. McCartney met with the film's director, Steve McQueen, a number of times before filming to discuss what conditions were like in the H-Blocks for prisoners at the time of the hunger strike. The Sinn Fein MLA spent 53 days on hunger strike in 1980.

"I have not seen the film yet but I have no doubt that it will contribute to the legacy of the hunger strikes. I think it is remarkable that 27 years after the hunger strikes filmmakers and historians are still debating the unfolding legacy of the events in 1981.

ED Hardy Boots

"I am looking forward to seeing the film and from the clips I have already seen, I am sure it wil depict the brutality, particularly the forced baths, and it will give people some insight into the brutal regime which existed in the H-Blocks from 1967 to 1981," he said.

Mr. McCartney said he was impressed by the director and sent his congratulations on the prize.

MLAs clash in reaction to atta

MLAs were involved in a predictable clash over the Gaza aid convoy attack yesterday.

handbags l Unionists backed Israel while Sinn Fein slammed the commando attack on the flotilla.

At least nine people were killed, the Israeli army said, when armed forces boarded the largest vessel carrying aid to the Gaza Strip.

Israel claimed its soldiers were shot at, while campaigners said Israeli troops came on board shooting.

Sinn Fein Assembly member Raymond McCartney said: "For our part Sinn Fein will continue to highlight the systematic oppression of the Palestinian people."

DUP MLA Jonathan Bell said Sinn Fein mentioned nothing about the Israeli children forced to use air raid shelters because of Palestinian fire.

He added: "No statement and no condemnation."

MLAs row over extra week's wor

ASSEMBLY members clashed yesterday over a proposal to extend business into the Christmas holidays.

handbags h

The DUP and Sinn Fein called for an extra week to enable the reallocation of surplus funds.

But Ulster Unionist Fred Cobain opposed the move claiming it will not give committees enough time to scrutinise the Executive proposals.

The next quarterly monitoring round, where funds are redistributed, is scheduled for January.

DUP Finance Minister Nigel Dodds wanted to bring it forward a month to tackle the credit crunch before Christmas.

But Mr Cobain said: "This is nothing to do with getting money out to older people. This is the DUP and Sinn Fein doing a Casual_pants bit of cheerleading before Christmas by going out and telling people how wonderful they are."

MLAs debate heating issue

TWO local representatives have waded into the debate over fuel poverty in the Antrim Borough following a report in last week's Antrim Times.

Last week, it was reported that a fifth of local elderly people spend their winters in one room to reduce heating bills.

Sinn Fein's South Antrim representative, Mitchel McLaughlin, who had highlighted the chilling fact, has now claimed that the Social Development Minister, Margaret Ritchie is "targeting the elderly with budget cuts".

The party's economy spokesperson stated last week that the Minister is "threatening to cut the Housing Executive budget and the Warm Home schemes by 50 per cent".

He said: "Margaret handbags s Ritchie, like all other Ministers, is given a budget allocation and it is her decision as to how she prioritises her Departmental spending.

"In announcing that she will have to take these draconian measures in order to stay within her budget constraints Margaret Ritchie is telling us that those in need of housing and the sick and elderly who wish to avail of the 'Warm Homes' schemes are at the bottom of her priority spending list.

"If Minister Ritchie has decided to cut spending on Warm Home schemes, or reduce the amount spent on social housing, then that is her decision as Minister for Social Development, not the Executive's."

Mr McLaughlin has asked the Minister to reveal where her priority spending areas are.

"Then the people will be able to judge whether or not she is making best use of the finances available," he said.

Adding that the Department of Social Development is in possession of the largest land bank of any department, he said: "Perhaps Ms Ritchie should be looking at imaginative ways to utilise these assets in order to bring them into productive use for social housing provision instead of threatening to leave those on low incomes homeless or the elderly in freezing conditions in winter.

"Or, the Minister could move decisively to ensure that there is no dilution in Article 40 requirements for 20 per cent social housing in all new developments so that she will be able to address the long waiting lists for housing."

Antrim Councillor and SDLP Social Development Spokesperson, Thomas Burns MLA has slammed Sinn Fein's "misleading slurs" on warm homes.

Mr Burns said it was "malicious nonsense" and "masks the party's role in denying funding for social development".

He said: "Even for Sinn Fein this is a new low.

"Out of thin air, this charge has been has conjured up. This is not true and Sinn Fein knows that."

"Sinn Fein knows that Social Development is a spending ministry with no funding of its own. All its money must come from Sinn Fein's good friend Peter Robinson in the Department of Finance."

nike air max 90 Mr Burns added: "Peter has decided that Margaret Ritchie will only get 50 percent of the money she needs, not only for Warm Homes but for social and affordable housing too.

"Sinn Fein needs to pin the responsibility where it belongs, to the same Sinn Fein/DUP alliance that tried to prevent Margaret Ritchie from cutting funding to the UDA.

"All possible efforts will be made to defeat or limit these Sinn Fein/DUP cuts which the two parties have combined to force through in the Assembly.

New worries over rail link

Fears have been raised that a stalled Pounds 7.5 billion project to buy a new fleet of next-generation express trains for the London to Bath rail route will be scrapped.

The previous Labour government postponed the Intercity Express Programme to replace existing high speed trains which are 20-30 years old, before the election.

And now the new Tory Transport Secretary Philip Hammond has told MPs that he is looking at alternative schemes and will not make his final decision until the Government's spending review in October.

He also released the findings of a review by former Audit Commission controller Sir Andrew Foster, which highlighted how the value of money for the scheme has deteriorated from "exceptionally high" to "medium to high".

New veterans cemetery nearly c

By Jeff Sturgeon

The Roanoke Times

DUBLIN

Construction is 75 percent complete on the $7.8 million Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery, with crews finishing up buildings, roads and a shelter for burial services.

Opening ceremonies are scheduled for the first week of April. At least 800 veterans have been approved for burial there, said Dan Kemano, cemeteries director for the state Department of Veterans Services.

The nearly 80-acre facility, similar in size to the National D- Day Memorial in Bedford, is on land in Pulaski County that used to be part of the Radford Army Ammunition Plant. A short drive from Dublin, it's an expanse of groomed red dirt dotted with near- complete buildings on Bagging Plant Road.

In coming months, Colorado Rockies landscaping and finishing touches such as flags are planned to create a dignified resting place for veterans and their family members.

Phase one, on 24 acres, will contain 6,750 graves, 625 columbarium niches and 500 ground sites for cremains, for a total of 7,875 burial spaces. In a clearing under trees, crews will create a scatter garden for spreading ashes .

Burial will be offered free to veterans regardless of their state of residence and, if married, to their spouses or eligible dependents for $300.

When finished , the third state-run veterans cemetery in Virginia will have space for an estimated 60,000 remains.

Retired Col. Dallas Cox of Pulaski County, a leader in the effort to create a new cemetery in the region, called it fitting that it will occupy part of federal property used in the production of ammunition.

"The vets are being buried and the wives are being buried on the land that made the bullets that won the war," Cox said.

However, ammunition was not manufactured on the part of the property where veterans will be laid to rest. The land, which was found free of contaminants, was a buffer between Dublin and an adjacent area of about 3,000 acres that still belongs to the Army and is dotted with buildings that store munitions and other items.

Once the cemetery opens, visitors will drive past an office with restrooms, an outdoor committal shelter with seating for services , a columbarium and a memorial plaza anchored by a 5-by-8 American flag that will be illuminated at night.

For efficiency and savings, buildings will be heated with geothermal lines deep in the ground. In addition, landscaping will be irrigated with nonpotable well water, said William Vest, resident inspector on the project.

The cemetery staff will consist of three or four people to run the office, tend the grounds and monitor services. Budget limitations mean there is no one dedicated to helping visitors women's designer shoes find graves, state cemeteries director Kemano said.

Instead, an electronic kiosk will give out grave locations to those who type in a name.

Pairused 'mules' in scam to ne

A car pulls up. A person asks if you want to make some quick cash. All you have to do is submit some phony income tax documents and get an advance on the fake refund.

"They said, 'Do you want to make $1,000 in an hour?' And the folks were jumping in the car with them," Palm Beach County sheriff's Detective Bill Griffin said Thursday.

"Sure," no fewer than 42 takers told Leroy Walker and Tonia Marcia Williams, affidavits show.

"How could they not know this was illegal?" Detective Tom Gendreau said.

In all, the foot-soldiers allegedly scammed at least seven Palm Beach County Liberty Tax Service locations out of nearly $80,000.

On Wednesday night, sheriff's detectives arrested Walker, 24, and Williams, 41, who share a home in Mangonia Park, on charges that include racketeering and fraud involving $50,000.

"There's different kinds of crimes," Palm Beach County State Attorney Michael McAuliffe said at a Thursday news conference. "You can get hit in the face or you can get hit in the pocketbook. We're going to pursue them all."

Williams was ordered held in lieu of $750,000 bail and Walker in lieu of $300,000 bail.

As of Thursday evening, more than half of their 42 "mules," all charged with grand theft, had turned themselves in and were still in custody or had been let out on their own recognizance; the rest were expected to surrender or be arrested.

Detectives say between the first of the year and the April 15 income tax deadline, the people submitted phony tax returns and W- 2 forms done up by the conspirators.

Liberty, which processes more than 1.5 million tax returns a year nationwide, then gave them immediate cash advances on their calculated tax refund.

"The counterfeiters and organizers can't do anything without the mules, and the mules can't do anything without the counterfeiters," Griffin said.

When the IRS started kicking back the phony returns, Liberty realized it had been ripped off and contacted detectives.

Since it was Liberty and its bank, not the IRS, that made the advances, they were out the money -- about $77,000.

Illicit refunds ranged from $800 to $6,000 each.

The ringleaders took a cut of at gucci wallets for women least half the refund, often several hundred dollars, from each mule, Gendreau said.

Liberty would charge $200 to $250 per return, usually deducting that from the refund, meaning the tax service was victimized even more.

Because their loss was limited, IRS investigators opted to leave prosecution to local authorities.

Liberty required applicants show identification and provide their names and Social Security numbers. And, inexplicably, they did, making it easy for detectives to track them down, Gendreau said.

Once the mules were rounded up, many fingered Williams and Walker, even though the two mostly had dealt with them on only a first-name basis, detectives said.

Scott Shrader of West Palm Beach said he believes the seven Palm Beach County franchises he owns were targets in about 30 of the 42 incidents.

"I'm very happy we were able to work with the investigators t
